Official Conduct
The Commissioner for Public Sector Standards is an independent person appointed by the Governor. The Commissioner's functions in relation to official conduct are set out in Sections 9 and 21 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994. These functions include:
- leading and establishing standards and codes;
- assisting agencies to comply with those standards and codes, through public sector practice improvement;
- monitoring and reporting compliant and non-compliant agency conduct; and
- reporting to Parliament.
In July 2005, OPSSC joined with other integrity agencies in Western Australia to establish the Integrity Coordinating Group (external website). The aim of this group is to promote and strengthen integrity in WA public bodies.
